Undercover Radio 6925
« on: April 27, 2012, 0610 UTC »
4/27/12, 6925 AM, 0430z: Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows", Undercover Radio ID.  Off or steep fade out a few minutes later.  Listening via east coast web tuner - no luck here at home.  Propagation seemed pretty poor Thursday after a couple of pretty good weeks.

Recorder catch:

6925 AM (rx in USB) SIO 322-323

Fair signal at first, but broadcast came up in strength later during tx.  Heard some Deftones being played at one point.

04:46z Signed on with the familiar "..don't let them know what we are doing, don't let them see us..."
05:41z Dr. Benway thanking listeners & off

Hi,

UNDERCOVER Radio heard here in France at 05.05 to 05.41*.

Good signal, then fading a bit. Unknown pop-rock, maybe some Red Chili Hot Pepper and others.

Clear IDs + email by Dr Benway, and "good night" (Euro translation is "good morning").

So far for "bad propagation" forecasts !

SDR recording catch, 0446 sign on. S7 signal, but very tough with the high noise levels, which were comparable. Sign off at 0541, but it looks like there was a weaker carrier still on the frequency after Dr Benway went off. Not sure if an actual station or local QRM.
